Int + (2/3)*Int = 180
Int = 108
Ext = 72
n = 360/72 = 5 sides

the exterior of a regular polygon is 2/3 of its interior angle ,how many sides are their in the polygon.
-----------
the interior and corresponding exterior angl are supplementary
ext = (2/3)interior
ext + int = 180
----
Substitute for ext and solve for int.
(2/3)int + int = 180
(5/3)int = 180
int = (3/5)180
int = 108
ext = 72
-------
sum of the exterior angles = 360 degrees
# of ext = 360/72 = 5
# of sides = 5
